1/8th mile to 1/4 mile conversion
Hi everyone.
i had my car out to the track a few weeks ago and i ran a best of 7.80 with no exhaust and i was wondering if anyone knows how to do the conversion to quarter mile. last night i tryed my Gtec pro out with the slicks on and full exhaust and i made 4 runs with it and my best time was a 12.79 at 112 mph. and my next 2 best were 12.80 @111 12.90 @109 and the worst pass was i dident rev it up enuff and it bogged and i pushed the cluch back in and let it out again and still ran a 13.03 at 103mph. so anyways i was just wondering what a 7.80 at 88 mph converts to in the 1/4 mile. any help would be great. thanks Ken.

Ummmm this is probably a dumb question, and I'm not trying to sound like a jacka$$, but . . . . why don't you take it to a 1/4 mile track?

This should do the trick.
The exact calculation is prett huge and requires NASA to fire up the old tape drives... but you get the idea http://www.speedworx.com/cgi-local/s...eighthconv.htm 68

the nearest track is 350 miles away.
so this is the best i can do. 68impala thanks for the info. 7.80 converts to a 12.25 to a 12.39 im very happy with that. i thought i would be somewhere in the mid to high 12s. thanks again.
